Spooky Poems Aloud cover

From Children’s Laureate (2022–2024), Joseph Coelho, comes a giggling and ghoulish compendium of 25 spooky poems to perform.

With a delightful blend of giggles and ghouls, this collection is designed for young readers and budding performers.

Within these pages, you'll discover poems that can be recited loudly, softly, or in a ghostly whisper, offering a diverse range of performances. Some poems are meant to make your audience jump or send shivers down their spine, while others weave spell-poems that can enchant a witch's cat or cast a spell of laughter. There are even poems that will tickle your funny bones.

Spooky Poems Aloud is the perfect collection of Halloween-themed poems for children to build confidence in reading aloud and nurture their speech and drama skills. Joseph Coelho's imaginative words will transport young readers into the world of whimsical and eerie tales, making this book a treasure trove for children of all ages and reading abilities.
